Help me get optus to answer my question

We were promised by Optus that mid November we would get Froyo. Hit them up on @Optus on twitter or their support email. If more people start asking then we will actually get an answer.
At the rate it's going, we might well be the very last people in the world to get Froyo for our devices, even though we were some of the earliest adopters for the handset.

Keep us updated on your progress mate. I don;t have a twitter account but am in the same books as you.
I have rung them a few times but they are less then knowledgeable with a response.
Most of them you talk to don't have a clue what your talking about. ie. Firmware what?
Then try and direct you to call Samsung.
The last time I spoke to Samsung in Australia they couldn't provide any details at all.
A sad sad state of affairs to be sure.

News: Android 2.2 for Samsung Galaxy S is now available
16/11/2010
Owners of Samsung's Galaxy S line of phones have been patiently waiting for the Android 2.2 update that many other Android owners have had for months, and now it looks like the wait may finally be over.
Samsung has announced that later tonight, at 8:00 PM, a download will become available to SamsungMobile.com that will be compatible with all Galaxy S devices, upgrading them to Android 2.2.
The news comes after Google and Samsung have continuously been dodgy about details regarding the update for Samsung's Android-powered smartphones. To date, the only handsets to receive the upgrade have been phones manufactured by other companies. Only about a quarter of all Android users have upgraded their device to the latest OS.
Many of those who haven't upgraded simply have a phone that is too outdated to receive it. But the Galaxy S platform is one of the most technically adept on the market right now and is more than capable of running Froyo.
Exactly what has been causing the hold-up is anyone's guess, but it's been a real problem for Samsung as it tries to market the devices.
Android 2.2 brings with it features like full browser support for the latest Flash video standard, the ability to use your phone as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and enhanced voice controls for all aspects of the device. It should be a welcome addition to the Galaxy S family.

This is from a US news website called TGDaily which was talking about the update but he missed the mark for sure.
It's not specifically related to OPTUS at all but a general comment stating Froyo was now available.
When you go to the Samsungmobile.com website you have to pick a region.
Australia takes you to that regions site and the Kies version here is way way old 1.5.1.10083
When you install this Kies, it will prompt you to update to the newer version.
BUT.......no Froyo.
Sad sad sad.

All of this was proven to be wrong, and was copied from a blog entry from the day before from TG Daily.
It was promptly removed from the Optus blog.

Optus made an announcement on Twitter that Samsung delivered to them around 01/11/2010 the new firmware. They had to create their optus customisation for it and intended to release it mid november. Now its the 19th and it still isn't out. I figure anyone who cares should go put a question to them @Optus or their support email until we get an answer.
I don't mind the wait as such, it's just that I want to know what they are doing. I hate "two more weeks". IF they could say we are having trouble getting the widget to work and we want that working before we release, then OK, but silence is just downright frustrating!

Why the heck do you need the Optus customisations for? It's not like you get extra wallpapers or optimisations just a bunch of useless widgets and shortcuts but whatever.

I hope official firmware from Optus is better than Nordic JPA version.
I have JPA Froyo on my optus GS via Reg hack. Wifi is ify and phone lags...
Put same app side by side on GS and iPhone, GS one is slow.
EG. Kids only want to use iPhone for Talking Tomcat because it does not miss every second word.
Sad!

I was in the same boat as you guys not long ago. Waiting for Optus to release their modified firmware, checking kies day to day. I got kinda fed up waiting, figured that the firmware is of course just going to include all the optus and samsung bloatware to slow down the phone. Not to mention relying on kies to work properly.
So in the end I just put Dark's Rom on. works fantastically really. learnt how to do it (easy guide in his thread) and actually did it in under half an hour. the actual doing it only takes like 10 minutes. I know it's not for everyone, but i'm so glad I decided to go down that route rather than rely on optus.

I don't understand why you guys have to know what's going on all the time.. Optus have stated that their release intention is "By the end of November", for quite some time now.
Knowing exactly what's going on won't get you the release any faster, it serves no purpose but to waste their time by answering the children in the back seat "Are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet".
We'll get there, when we get there.
Perhaps if December comes along, and it's still not release, THEN start nagging.

Or just abandon all hope and flash a rom! I mean you are on xda after all.
I was waiting with my old eclair rom but went and flashed docs rom. I only regret not doing it sooner.

Agreed, Custom firmware is guaranteed better than Optus bloatware.
Insanity, Spike Speedy v3 and Darky's v4.1 are all perfect for quick, fully optimised and bloat-free roms.

There's no point spamming them on Twitter with the SAME QUESTION over and over again 50000 times, because I highly doubt busying up the customer support team will have any impact on whatever development team is modifying the firmware for release.

Alot of custom firmware comes with the Optus APN, the one I'm using at the moment came with it.
Which is Insanity.. Very barebones but you can easily install whatever stock apk's you want via the included link he gave to them on his thread.
If you want the Optus apk's (Why on earth you would is beyond me..) I'm almost sure you could get them off optus zoo, just give Optus a call and find out if you have any troubles I guess.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9264973&postcount=1
Edit: Also the Optus APN info can easily be added to the phone manually by going to Wireless and network > mobile networks > Access Point Names > press menu button, new APN
and the information for the APN (and all other Aussy ones) is here: http://ausdroid.net/apns/

I'm not neccessarily after a date, I want a reason. If they would just let us know that they really are still working on it, they aren't stuck with a resource problem or something like that then OK. I just hate it when they leave you with no news.
And my original statement still stands that we may well be the last carrier to actually get Froyo. I want the official one because I'm going into Optus if it doesn't fix the GPS for a warranty claim.

I want to know the date so I know when I can use the phone to it's full ability as advertised!

2.3.4 still on the horizon.....come and pray for it in this thread

Good evening guys and girls,
Had a surprise visit from a Samsung UK field rep today, who when asked about 2.3.4, he said his Galaxy S2 already running a build and had been for 3 weeks, he said it was nice and stable, didn't get chance to nab a photo but he said it was supposed to start rolling out from around the 10th of June to XEU handsets in the UK.
His handset was KE6 and KE9
Crossing my fingers big time.

Hope it will fix battery drain.

That would be nice.

This is exciting to hear. Thanks for sharing. Always look forward to a new firmware as it can sometimes fix little issues here and there

This actually confirms what I got told my a SammySon engineer and also what balenax has posted on here.

this is great news, will developers of the popular roms need to start from scratch?

What are the news/addition of android 2.3.4?

Just my luck as I'll be out of town till the 13th so no pc access to update :|

Sounds good, coming from an iPhone I still don't know what the OS updates for androids look like yet

His was a development build so anything can change.
Also I don't suffer from the yellow tinge that was mentioned above so didn't ask. Sorry.

really hope we get 2.3.4 soon, this battery life sucks.

if we are using a UK version in the U.S do you think we will get the ota update or will we have to wait until someone posts it on the forum?

I hope it will stop the battery drain and the smartphone heat (sometimes)!
Do you think we will have to reset the phone or are we able to flashing over existing KE7(currently installed)?

Gingerbread possibility?

So does anyone think this means we will see gingerbread on the streak?

Reading comprehension is not a strong suit for many people, I understand that

Of course Gingerbread will come to Dell Streak 5.
You only need to be patient people!
Patience is a virtue. All good things will come to those who wait.
Someone will make it for the Dell Streak 5, whether it be days, weeks or months, it will happen.

Yeah, hopefully. A lot of Android phones have been / will be getting Gingerbread updates. Even the old Xperia X10, which came out in November 2009, just got a 2.3 update.

Dell just put an update for softbank streaks yesterday. After that I'd expect another round of minor updates for various carriers.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, what's a "softbank" Streak (I can't seem to locate a definition here)... Thanks

But was it just a minor update to Froyo 2.2.2?
Maybe Dell is just buying their time perfecting a totally new UI for Android 3.2 (like they did over top of 1.6 Doughnut)!
Seriously though... why did they spend so many resources putting lipstick on 1.6 (which was very cool / revolutionary / different) Such as the app drawer in the notification bar, power widget dropdown, etc.
I do like that the 2.2.2 releases of Froyo are AOSP enough that the UOT works without issue!
BTW: Softbank is a carrier (Japan?)

It was a minor update, but what it does say is that the team hasnt stopped working on the streak, they merely havnt been releasing any builds for whatever reasons. The update was built on june 30th and that was only a month ago. OTAs usually take about a month from building -> testing -> OTA
Whatever reason they are taking so long, if/when GB comes out it should be even closer to stock android then 2.2 just like 2.2 if you ignore stage ui.
Softbank is a cell carrier in japan, they sell locked US model streaks and were the first to semi-officially recieve 2.2. 301 was a softbank rom, but it wasnt officially released.

Not Exactly...

Except the captivate is getting gingerbread.
So, that means it is up to Dell to fight the giant at&t and get them to approve an update. To me this stance, among other things, communicates that Dell is halfheartedly interested in mobility. I mean, they brought in a mobility guy then canned him and shut down his division at the end of last year. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703688704575621101353557126.html Dell either doesn't want to work very hard or they are exiting because they don't think they can compete.
Contrast that with Sony Ericsson, and Samsung updating their 2010 models. (Ok, so SE isn't updating their at&t version, but this is XDA so we know that doesn't stop ambitious modders.) Those companies are showing commitment to the customers who signed TWO YEAR contracts and are stuck with LAST YEARS (2010) devices on Froyo for another year. These guys are differentiating in the place we wish every company did... Their customer service. Bravo!

Thanks Nick and TheManii for the info regarding Softbank...... Strangely, Softbank's website shows their cellular network as being W-CMDA.... so there must be a non-SIM version of the Streak.... either that or my Dolphin browser "translate" add-on doesn't translate Japanese too well LOL Thanks again all !!

They are probably focusing on the 10.1inch tablet coming out very soon. From what I gather it wont be a consumer device and probably not a streak.... but then again who knows they just released new stage software to sync and be a remote.
According to fards who speaks to ttmhe devs in irc he is convinced gb is coming offically.
How can it not with the streak 7 being so new.

WCDMA and UMTS are more or less synonymous (at least from a user standpoint, they might not be the exact same thing from a techical standpoint) with GSM 3G.
WCDMA is the 3g family (i think)
UMTS is the first 3g standard
HSPA is a faster revision (though revision isnt the best word to use)
HSPA+ is '3.5g' by the old definition and '4g' according to current american carriers.
WCMDA and CDMA are similar in how they transmit over the air, but completely different in application. WCDMA is a specific GSM technology, CDMA is the superfamily for CDMA devices.
To muddy the waters even more there are a couple of CDMA carriers in japan, but softbank is not one of them

Until someone provides me with a clean nandroid of ANY softbank rom this update is useless as it's a patch on TOP of previous softbank roms and not a complete pkg like normal streak pkgs

I'm afraid hope is abandoning more people than myself. I mean, if Dell
finally gets GB to our Streaks, will it be before Ice Cream shows up?
Will Dell Streak customers really still be interested in a phone with
an OS that is one generation older than the present one?
I'm sure I won't...

Thanks for the clarification, Manll...... Also I do see the point in having the latest OS, but I also realize that a manufacturer will not provide upgrade paths for an aging product forever. At least with Froyo, I think we're at least on a sustainable platform that will remain relevent for some time to come... I just wish we had native video calling like Honeycomb. None of the 3rd party apps seem to work unless the recipient also has the same video call client installed.... and that's just not a realistic option for most...... Oh well, we can't have everything I suppose

so looks like we stuck to buy streak!!!! now i realize it was really bad choice to buy streak! wish i bought galaxy!!!!

"Fards" is alarmingly quiet these days. It would be very interesting to
hear if there are any news on the subject, from someone "inside".

It´s time for a 4.0-based ROM

Hello @ all,
the launch of 4.0 is near and many custom-roms based partially of a nexus device.
i wait hopeful for the first steps
a rumour that i see in the internet, that DELL want to be publish a 4.0-based rom for the streak, i can´t believe that.
see you

Hi Jürsche,
i think there is no doupt dell will not bring out any updates to our devices. don't even waste time on thinking about it. when wishing for a ics-rom the best thing you can do is make one yourself - if you can, actually. The few devs working on streak5 here are doing the best they can providing a working gingerbread to overcome the end of development by dell. So far they are doing an excellent job (which i recommend supporting by a small donation!), but it might happen that we'll never see an ics on the streak5 if nobody builds one (which is most probably not so easy)

Strongly agree with u. Dell just left us in middle of the road but in "EOL" site they wrote it was nice journey. Maybe its from thr business side opinion not from user side.

I actually can't agree with Gostl's assessment simply because the Streak is still available, just not in the United States. The Streak is a new device for some Asian countries so it stands to reason that there will at some point be a Gingerbread release. Ice Cream Sandwich? I don't believe so, but it would be nice to be wrong.

I believe GingerStreak is a dell pre beta release. It will be realeased officially in an Asian country.

Dell stopped selling it in the original launch countries, but it still provides support for them there.
Yes it is HIGHLY unlikely for them to release an official ICS, but regardless of support, for a device this old you wouldnt realistically expect ICS for any product it's age.

oh don't get me wrong mate I completely agree with you! i think that zero is the answer, but tb completely h i guess the streak might have the horsepower required to run the sandwich (albeit with a slightly underpowered gpu). as a matter of fact I just replied to topic because I thought "nexi" was a funny word and I just HAD to share my findings.

For any device with a 1st gen snapdragon or newer or equivilent, ICS will actually make them faster.
GB -> HC -> ICS each include more and more HW acceleration, so anything with an actual GPU would gain from it, at least in theory. Actual outcome depends on the quality of the port/drivers

U can make your own ICS Port.

uk atrix update mid-november

This might be old news (actually stated on 11 october), but I saw this today.
Motorola has stated that they will release the 2.3 update to (unlocked) UK Atrix in mid-november

Is sure that the new update unlock the bootloader also for EU version?

I think I read that it will stay locked down. Not sure if its only locked so we only need to do the fastboot unlock, or if we still need IHOP..

If you read the whole thread it's getting very heated - Personally I don't think motorola will give UK the GB update.
The out of datrix will be the last motorola I ever buy. Never ever again. They can go out of business for all I care.

Listen I get that you are upset, but there's no way that any current Android phone is gonna have an entire lifecycle without at least one major update.
Don't get me wrong, its BS that you had to wait even this long for GB, but for what it's worth I chose to stay on Froyo for the longer stock battery life.
I'm gonna remain there until I get a more definitive answer in regards to ICS being OTA or CM for the Atrix...

Makes no difference to me, I've rooted & unlocked the boot loader(another stupid motorola trait) and have Gb on my Atrix.
Still won't be buying another motokak - just waiting for the Galaxy nexus to be delivered & I can consign the Atrix to the dustbin where it belongs.

Apparently it should come to all UK users (t-mobile, unlocked etc)
source

hopefully will be able to rip the radio from the update, as im sure there will be a new one, and for people who have unlocked their bootloader it might not be safe to do the OTA, like was the case for AT&T users.
